A We Need Diverse Books Anthology

The Hero Next Door

The author, Steven Simon, is well known as an insightful scientist and an engaging and witty speaker, and it is a pleasure to see how well his talents translate to the printed page. He has re-examined with a modern eye the question of which topics should be covered in a student's first exposure to the physics of solids. My impression is that his presentation of those topics will be accessible for the student, illuminating for the expert, and entertaining for
all.

"Marc Beckman is a visionary who sees future opportunities ahead of most. His vast knowledge of NFTs and longterm strategy in this growing business separates him from all the other people who are just in it for a fast dollar." &mdash;Steven Cooper, Sony "Comprehensive is an understatement. Marc Beckman&rsquo;s thoroughly necessary text outlines the past, present, and likely future of NFTs. A worthwhile primer for the artists, collectors, investors, and marketers among us." &mdash;Dina Fierro, NARS Cosmetics&#160; "As founder of DMA United and co-chair of New York University&rsquo;s Stern School of Business Luxury and Fashion Council, the author has written a primer, which also speaks to how fashion, art, sports and social justice can take advantage. Illustrated with NFTs and photos of digital-savvy personalities like Takashi Murakami and Steve Aoki, the page-turner highlights the rise of NFTs, digital artwork and blockchain technology." &mdash;WWD.com &#160;

What I Carry

'Vivid, visceral and with a strength of the voice that just pulls me right in. The god-littered world of David Mogo's Lagos just won't let go.' -- Jeannette Ng, author of Under the Pendulum Sun "A number of books have been termed 'godpunk,' but Suyi Davies Okungbowa's novel may be the subgenre's platonic deific ideal, from its title to its plot to its terse but vivid prose... Assured and arch, unsettling and thoroughly enjoyable-an auspicious debut from one of the most promising new voices in the growing coterie of African SFF writers." -- Peter Rubin * Wired Magazine * 'This is a refreshing take on urban fantasy, and definitely worth a look.' -- Mhairi White 'I did not know I was a fan of the Nigerian Godpunk genre, but this book convinced me!' * Horner's Book Corner * 'It's a fun fresh ride brimful of adventure, showcasing great new talent. Wholeheartedly recommend if you love Zen Cho, Tade Thompson or Nnedi Okorafor.' -- Liz de Jager, author of the Blackhart Legacy trilogy 'A Nigerian Harry Dresden. Okungbowa's voice is great, and makes Lagos feel familiar.' -- Jacey Bedford, author of Winterwood 'A riveting debut... this story is captivating.' * Publishers Weekly * A fantastic adventure of gods and mortals-highly recommended -- Tasha Suri, author of Empire of Sand

You&#8217;re Getting a Baby Sister!  Sheila Sweeny Higginson, illus. by Sam Williams. Little Simon, $7.99 (24p) ISBN 978-1-4424-2050-2&nbsp;   With sensitivity and humor, Higginson gives prospective older siblings the scoop on what to expect from the new bundle of joy: &#8220;Baby sisters are darling./ Baby sisters are cute./ But don&#8217;t let her looks fool you&#8212;/ because here is the truth.&#8221; Williams&#8217;s gentle pastel palette depicts families celebrating the arrival of their baby girls; the expressions on the older siblings&#8217; faces show mixed emotions. Little sisters drool, smell, scream, and break toys (&#8220;the ones you love too&#8221;), concedes Higginson. But there is a silver lining: &#8220;You can be her first teacher&#8212;/ show her things that you know./ Give her patience and love&#8212;/ she&#8217;s just starting to grow.&#8221; It&#8217;s a pitch-perfect primer that reminds readers of the upsides of being a big brother or sister, without minimizing or trivializing those less-than-wonderful moments. Available simultaneously: You&#8217;re Getting a Baby Brother! --Publishers Weekly, December 12, 2011, *STAR

Still: Poems

One of Entertainment Weekly's "Best New Books"&ldquo;The novel is at its best when satirizing the high-tech business world and internet culture...fans of dystopian fiction will want to check this one out.&rdquo;--Publishers Weekly&ldquo;For his first adult novel, YA superstar Yoon draws on his decades in the tech industry to envision a takedown of the digital world so complete that paper comes back into fashion...A fast-paced, contemporary take on The Monkey Wrench Gang, blowing up digital infrastructure instead of dams.&rdquo;--Kirkus Reviews&ldquo;With Version Zero David Yoon holds up a mirror to our ways of life, our hardships and vulnerabilities. As he lures us into the story of a smart, naive young man&rsquo;s desire to make the world a better place, the mirror turns black. This propulsive, visceral, tech-rich tale is both all head and all heart , which is to say, it&rsquo;s all David Yoon.&rdquo;--Caroline Kepnes, author of You &ldquo;Version Zero is fast and fun, but more importantly, it&rsquo;s an incisive, thoughtful takedown of Big Tech, our own social media consumption, and ultimately, may just serve as a call to arms.&rdquo;&mdash;Rob Hart, author of The Warehouse"Imagine a world in which the entire Internet is controlled by a handful of shady CEOs. Oh. Right. Well, imagine someone doing something about it. Imagine a high-speed, edge of your seat adventure with stakes higher than you can measure. Imagine it told in David Yoon&rsquo;s unique and singularly engaging prose. That&rsquo;s Version Zero, an addictive, brain-hacking exploration of the tech-run world we live in, and a rollercoaster so fast it will blow your hair off."--Sylvain Neuvel, author of Sleeping Giants
